Five years ago today, our family became complete. It was quite a journey to get to that place, but He saw us through - and we couldn't be more blessed!! For many years, we struggled through infertility, and even lost two of our precious children to miscarriage. God knew our children were all to be born exactly five years apart, even though this wasn't our plan of course. He knew better. Five years ago today, our world changed forever. He gave us the best "surprise" we ever received!! We never thought we could have a third child. There is quite a story leading up to how we became pregnant with you!!
Falling in love......
(Only for the love of my children would I post pictures of myself on the world-wide-web after just giving birth!!)
So much family to love....
Happy Fifth Birthday Baby Girl!!! You have filled our lives with joy, happiness, laughter and fullness - you have made us complete!!
A birthday morning celebration.....
When I was pregnant with my first little Punkin - 16 years ago - so hard to believe... I spent nine months cross-stitching this sampler... Just last month, I FINALLY had it professionally stretched and properly framed. This hangs on the wall between my girls bedrooms. It's hard to tell in this picture, but this thing is HUGE!!
Happy Birthday my precious Boo!! We have a five-year-old portrait session today that Boo is very excited about. Stay tuned for more pictures!

Precious pictures! She looks beautiful in all her curls. Happy birthday to Boo!
thanks so much for sharing that! i would really like to hear your entire story of infertility sometime, as you know we struggle with that as well.
How I remember that day 5 years ago. It is amazing how much all 3 girls have changed in those 5 years. I love Emily's hair. She really does look like a princess. All 3 girls were beautiful then and now. Happy Birthday Emily. We love you.
I just learned about your blog through Kimberly today. Your photography is stunning! :) I've added you to my blog list and look forward to "getting to know you." :)
Her curls and shirt are perfect for today! It was fun seeing the pictures from 5 years ago - hard to believe how fast it's gone by! Love your cross-stitch!
A BIG Happy Birthday from the Martins! I can't believe she's 5--we've been away from MD much too long!! The cross-stitch is beautiful--love the message. Hope Boo has a beautiful birthday day :)!
